Roo poo used to make paper

Environment & Nature News - Roo poo used to make paper :


"'I've been inspired by the African paper makers who've created an enormous industry out of elephant dung paper,' she says. 'I thought we needed an Australian version.'"

Joanna Gair's company is making paper from kangaroo and wallaby poo and it's a big winner. The poo is soaked for 5 hours. Some of the poo is mixed with cotton to produce a lighter coloured paper. One way to seriously recycle!!
